[QUOTE="bwranch, post: 95360, member: 102"] Just a little advocacy for the devil. In testing, they administered 10 mcg/kg to a monkey without any visible effect. For a 200 lb human that's roughly equivalent to 3 cc of micotil injected IM. I'm not arguing the danger here, but injecting yourself with 3 cc (probably 4-5 cc for me) would take some doing. If I remember correctly, the guy that died in Nebraska? took a full 10 cc in the thigh due to a freak accident. Everybody knows a story or two about some poor schmuck that got stomped by a bull or tossed by a new mama. Stuff happens. We don't carry the stuff in a syringe without a cap on the needle, and we don't administer it without the animal squeezed in the chute. I don't let the kids even draw it up. I wouldn't recommend just anyone go out and sling the stuff around, but I don't feel like I'm taking any unnecessary risks. Then again, maybe the price is so high in order to cover the malpractice insurance for the docs that give it out to everybody and their brother. ;-) [/QUOTE]
